An Introduction
"Solid-State Theory - An Introduction" is a graduate-level textbook that covers traditional and modern topics in solid-state physics, including quantum-Hall effects and high-T superconductors. It links theoretical concepts to experimental facts and includes review problems, making it a valuable resource for students and teachers. The new edition features an additional chapter on light-matter interactions.
The Landolt-Boernstein subvolumes III/44A and III/44B update the existing 8 volumes III/41 about Semiconductors and contain new Data and Updates for I-VII, III-V, III-VI, IV, VI and II-VI Compounds.
„Solid-State Theory - An Introduction“ is a textbook for graduate students of physics and material sciences. Whilst covering the traditional topics of older textbooks, it also takes up new developments in theoretical concepts and materials that are connected with such breakthroughs as the quantum-Hall effects, the high-T c superconductors, and the low-dimensional systems realized in solids. Thus besides providing the fundamental concepts to describe the physics of the electrons and ions comprising the solid, including their interactions, the book casts a bridge to the experimental facts and gives the reader an excellent insight into current research fields. A compilation of problems makes the book especially valuable to both students and teachers.
